Off BCP side effects (rantish)

So I've been off birth control pills (kariva) for about a month now. I haven't been off birth control since I was about 18 when I started. 24 now. I am having what I can only dub...THE MOST SENSITIVE BREASTS IN THE WORLD(hope you read that very dramatically).It's driving me nuts! The wind freaking blows and they hurt. Nipples erect all the time. Aaaarrrrggghhhh. And I'm all emotional and weepy. I swear, if I wasn't 100% sure I wasn't pregnant I'd think I was.Anyone else having irritating hormonal adjustments going off BCP? I just don't wanna be alone in my sad little achy boob world.

Sorry Zombies - nothing to note in that area but I've only been off for two weeks or so, so anything is still possible. I do have to say that I've had some mild breakout on my face which is totally unexceptable - I've always had clear skin, even before BC. A positive to note would be I think DH and I have bd'd more in the past week than we had in the prior month! The need is just insatiable (may be TMI - sorry!). Hope the sensitivity wears off! Just a random question regading that - you didn't happen to change laundry detergent or anyhing, have you? A new brand or fragrance could cause sensitivity... Just a thought!

It's so funny that you wrote this, because I was thinking of putting the same thing up!! I got off birth control (Nuvaring) on Oct 15th and my nipples are KILLING ME! They hurt all the time, bra or no bra! The shower is the worst part! It's like being tasered in the boob if a jet of water hits one of them!

I was the same way with the BD, we were doing it way more since coming of the pill until I got the stomach flu two days ago... which had my DH worried because at first, I was only throwing up for no reason... he was convinced I was preggo! I had to laugh at him, it was 12:30am and something felt wrong, then I broke out into this 103 fever and he was convinced that no, I was not, in fact, pregnant!

So happy that I'm not the only one, even when I was burning up and getting sick over the toilet, my nipples were still hurting! I was like "ENOUGH!" LOL

THANK YOU!!!! I have been feeling half crazy over here! I got off BC (nuvaring) back in Aug because of side effects. I have all but turned poor DH in to a piece of meat. With him being a boob guy he was really confused between the don't "touch me/cuddle with me" emotions I was going through. Along with feeling like a 2 year old in need of a blankie for the past few months. The emotional part is the week before AF and the need to BD is the week after. And somewhere in there I conjure up an arguement and verge of tears episode. He just laughs at me and tells me he is going to take a business trip overseas while i am PG.

I have no idea how my body will react to getting off my current BCP (Yasmin). But I was on Ortho-tricyclen in my early 20's and I don't remember anything weird happening after I got off of it. My periods were a little irregular, but nothing major. Just a couple days here, a couple days there. Has anyone on here come off of Yasmin by any chance? What sort of effects did it have on you getting off of it?

When I went off Nuvaring my body went CRAZY! Including the sex drive & the acne & crazy painful BBs & bloating... Good news is I'm about six months out & everything is back to normal. I get a little more acne but that's it.
